Leather Recolouring: Give Your Bag a New Life

Colour is often the first thing to go on a well-loved bag. Corners fade, handles darken and stains appear.

Colour restoration vs. colour change

  • Restoration brings the bag back to its original shade.
  • Colour change gives a bag a completely new look, like black, navy or a classic tan.

Our recolouring process

  1. Deep clean and degrease the leather.
  2. Repair scratches and worn areas.
  3. Apply colour in thin, even layers with an airbrush.
  4. Seal with a protective finish matching the original sheen (matte, satin or gloss).

Which bags can be recoloured?

Most smooth and grained leathers. Suede, exotic leathers and coated canvas need a separate assessment.

FAQ

Will the colour rub off? Not with a professional finish and proper curing.

Can you recolour just the handles? Yes, spot recolouring is very common.
